How sad is this?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I had read a lot of bad reviews recommending not wasting time watching this movie, but I have to honestly say that I really enjoyed "Bitch Slap". I think you have to take the movie as what it is and what it is intended to be, an homage to the 1950s-70s B movies mixing hot girls, fast cars, foul language, and outrageous action. And cleavage, of course, tons of jaw-dropping shots of double-D cleavage.The story is indeed a bit flat, but never boring and has quite a few surprises due to its non-linear storytelling. Visually the movie is stunning. The mix of slow-motion shots and fast paced scenes is superb and it is extremely well edited. Overall it reminded me a bit of Zack Snyder's adaptation of Frank Miller's 300. (No, I am not joking.)It is in deed a kind of a modern remake of the infamous Russ Meyer movie "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" from 1965 in the style of a Frank Miller comic.The three main female characters - a dark-haired stripper, a feisty red-head and a psychopathic blonde - are cleverly chosen and perfectly portrait by Julia Voth, Erin Cummings, and America Olivo. The acting is not what you would expect from a self-declared B movie - it is actually very good - and the change from serious acting to comical performance is well done. But what stands out are the stunning cat-fights and steamy love scenes. Stunt Choreographer Zoe Bell has done a marvelous job as the fight scenes look gorgeous. "Bitch Slap" is definitely not a movie you want to watch together with your wife at movie night, but if you like hot girls with over-the-top cleavage, sexy outfits, well choreographed cat-fights, and have a stomach for the sometimes graphical violence then you will enjoy this movie.I for sure did - even if I was maybe more staring than actually watching. It was a lot of fun!

I love B movies, but I would probably consider this a C movie with B movie quality and direction. This movie is an instant cult classic in my book. Its got the sin city vibe going on (which really makes this movie), a semi solid story, beautiful women, guns and gore. What is not to like about this movie? The actresses that lead the movie are actually very good actors and make the story entertaining to keep focused and engaged to keep watching. You really have to be a sexploitation fan to appreciate this. If not, its not going to be entertaining at all. I just hope there is a second movie in the future. Awesome flick!

Yeah I get it. This is a spoof of B movies.I feel dumber for watching as much as I did before I started to fast forward to see if it gets any better. The ladies are truly magnificent. The acting, writing, effects and wardrobe were sadly not magnificent. How this movie got more than a ** Two star rating is a mystery. I do look forward to seeing any of the actresses in something more legitimate.Also the policeman would have called it in. He sought no opportunity to gain revenue for the county. This is very unrealistic, especially for a Nevada policeman. The writer should have known this and added it in as a complication to the plot.This movie wants so badly to be like grindhouse or a Tarrentino flic, but the strength of the dialog is just not there.

If you took the look of Maxim magazine, the sound of a devoutly Mormon Quentin Tarantino and the soul of an empty plastic bottle of Sprite, threw them all into a tin pot and then blasted the pot with a WWII flamethrower, the melted-together mess would be something like Bitch Slap. This thing is like a B movie/exploitation flick made by people who've never actually seen a B movie/exploitation flick. It's about nothing but sex, violence and bad language where the sex is tamer than a 6 week old kitten, the violence is about as exciting as watching an episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and the bad language goes to such absurd lengths of euphemism that it leaves you longing for the bluntness of porn dialog.There are twin plot lines in this disaster. One concerns Trixie, Hel and Camero (Julia Voth, Erin Cummings and America Olivo), three tarted-up bad girls who drive into the dessert looking for the treasure of Gage (Michael Hurst), the guy wearing a thong they've got stashed in the trunk of their car. The other is a series of flashbacks that move backward in time, like that episode of Seinfeld, detailing the who, what and why of the first storyline. That dual approach gets really old, really fast but there are so many other things wrong with Bitch Slap that it doesn't even make the Top 10 list of how this film sucks.That list would be as follows…1. There is only one pair of naked breasts in this entire film and they don't belong to any of the starring actresses.2. There is only one so-called sex scene in the entire film and both participants remain fully clothed the entire time.3. Michael Hurst is, far and away, the best thing in the entire production. I like the guy and all that…but come on!4. The flashbacks look like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, if that movie's budget had been $67.50.5. The filmmakers rip off The Usual Suspects, though they don't even deserve to say the name "Keyser Soze".6. The entire production thinks it's waaaay funnier than it really is.7. The fight scenes look like a cross between pro wrestling and the fight scenes on the original Star Trek.8. Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor show up for one scene and DON'T make out.9. Kevin Sorbo shows up and looks like he got paid for this movie in Prozac.10. The same two characters fight the same climactic battle twice.The most pitiful thing about Bitch Slap is that the whole thing is constantly straining to be over the top and outrageous, yet only manages to wander in the general vicinity of that on two occasions. Once with a razor-tipped yo-yo and once when a woman gets bitten in the crotch. Other than that, this film is never more over-the-top or controversial than an episode of Blossom.Bitch Slap was made by some guys who worked on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. They apparently set out to create some R-rated trashy, campy fun. What they ended up making was a PG-13 version of those same TV shows.
